Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

"After a defeat, Bayern Munich secured three consecutive victories, winning their final match of the first half of the season with a resounding 4-0 victory, clinching the Bundesliga winter title and becoming the fourth consecutive Bundesliga team to win the mid-season championship..."

"Lu Xiao scores again, leading the Bundesliga top scorer list with 23 goals. Leverkusen wins 1-0 at home, maintaining their strong winning streak and keeping the title race alive as they chase Bayern Munich..."

"Evra scores his first goal for Juventus, who are held to a draw at home; Roma's victory narrows the gap to one point, and the Serie A title race intensifies..."

"Cristiano Ronaldo scores twice, Casillas saves a crucial penalty, Real Madrid leads Barcelona by 4 points, maintaining their top spot in La Liga..."

"Zhang Xizhe embarks on his overseas journey, watching the game from the stands at Wolfsburg; a 'Chinese derby' may be on the horizon in the Bundesliga. Our reporter brings you an exclusive interview, giving you a glimpse into Zhang Xizhe's first Bundesliga experience..."

"World-class football, the purest form of football, the ultimate enjoyment!"

Every Monday at 19:30 PM,

The moment fans have been waiting for has arrived.

Many fans who didn't have time to watch the games or didn't have the energy to watch the whole match basically rely on "World Football" to bring them information about the recent European leagues.

This is spiritual nourishment for domestic fans.

When Lu Xiao was representing Belgium in the World Cup, he not only appeared on CCTV's "News Broadcast".

There was also a special program on "World Football".

However, it was just a brief interview at the time, lasting only about 10 minutes.

Fortunately, fans can see Lu Xiao on the show every week.

Lu Xiao is mostly seen in Bundesliga reviews or in the Top 10 goals.

Li Xin, a sophomore, didn't have time to study even though the CET-4 exam was approaching. Instead, he sat in front of his computer, clicked on the CCTV live broadcast link, and watched it as soon as possible.

Upon hearing the classic opening sequence of "World Football," the other guys in the dorm couldn't resist and all crowded around to stand behind Li Xin.

"Ma Fanshu is so beautiful..."

"My goddess!"

The show was previously hosted by the goofy Duan Xuan, and after watching it for a while, it's easy to get tired of it.

Starting in November, a female host suddenly appeared, catching everyone's attention.

The young and beautiful Ma Fanshu has a strong allure for men with overflowing hormones.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the live broadcast of 'World Football.' I'm Duan Xuan."

"Hello everyone, I'm Ma Fanshu. It's great to meet you all on Monday night."

Before the program begins, I'd like to briefly announce something.

Just 10 minutes ago, the draw for the round of 16 of this season's Champions League was announced.

Now, let's have Brother Xuan explain the Champions League matchups to everyone...

"Holy crap? The Champions League draw has already taken place?"

"Yes, you just found out today."

"Who will the pharmaceutical company draw? The first-place team in the group should get a good draw, right?"

"Probably, but the pharmaceutical company has had really bad luck these past two years..."

Last year, we were drawn against Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid in a row, all formidable opponents.

This year, they faced another "group of death," fighting their way through Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Roma.

Bayer Leverkusen may have had bad luck, but they were tough enough.

When the Champions League draw was mentioned, the guys discussing Ma Fanshu forgot all about her beauty.

All attention was focused on the lottery.

Li Xin was equally concerned and listened attentively to what Duan Xuan had to say:

Let's take a look at the matchups for the Round of 16.

In my personal opinion, this lottery can be divided into two categories: difficult and favorable.

As the name suggests, teams that draw favorable lots will have an easier time, as they don't face much of a challenge on paper.

Teams that drew unfavorable lots are in a more troublesome situation.

Two very strong teams may face off in the round of 16, and there will inevitably be regrets in the process of deciding the winner.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the matchups.

Li Xin took a deep breath, watching nervously as the special effects gradually unfolded on the screen.

He quickly calculated the matchup in his mind.

In the 2014-2015 season, after the Champions League group stage results were announced, he and his roommates were still simulating the draw.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The first teams in each group are:

Group A: Juventus, Atletico Madrid

Group B: Monaco, Zenit Saint Petersburg

Group C: Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid

Group D: Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund

Group E: Bayern Munich, Manchester City

Group F: Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain

Group G: Chelsea, Schalke 04

Group H: Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk

Aside from Group C, the "group of death," which remains unpredictable, the other groups were generally predictable after the group assignments were announced.

There were no upsets.

The draw for the round of 16 will avoid opponents from the same group or the same league.

First, we exclude Real Madrid, Schalke 04, and Borussia Dortmund; the other second-placed teams in the group could all be drawn.

Leverkusen's best signings are Shakhtar Donetsk and Zenit St. Petersburg, while Paris Saint-Germain is also a good option.

The other two teams, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, had relatively bad draws.

That's equivalent to 5 teams, 3 good draws, and 2 bad draws.

The probability of getting a good draw is slightly higher; with a bit of luck, you can get a good draw and easily advance to the top 8.

Unexpectedly, after the match results were announced on screen,

Li Xin and his colleagues behind him gasped in shock!

"Holy crap? This is just too unlucky."

"Sure, the round of 16 will start with a match against the defending champions."

"Oh dear, this is getting a bit bad."

"Their style is just right to counter pharmaceutical companies."

Although the opponent they drew wasn't some super-powerful team, it was one of the toughest teams Leverkusen had to face right now!

This timeline focuses on the 2013-2014 Champions League champions, Atletico Madrid, the iron-willed team that defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in the final!

"As mentioned earlier, Real Madrid, Monaco and Schalke 04, Bayern Munich, Arsenal..."

These teams have drawn relatively favorable groups, and their opponents are currently weaker overall.

They have a greater chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.

Next comes a tough draw, but also a highly anticipated clash between two strong teams.

For example, the match between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​or the clash between Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.

And most anticipated of all, the clash between Leverkusen and defending champions Atletico Madrid!

A thought suddenly popped into Li Xin's mind.

In the last two seasons, Bayer Leverkusen has been hailed as the "nemesis of La Liga".

Whether it's Real Sociedad, Barcelona, ​​or Real Madrid, all of them have had a tough time against Bayer Leverkusen.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have both lost to Bayer Leverkusen, and now Atletico Madrid, another of the three giants of La Liga, is about to face Bayer Leverkusen.

Atletico Madrid should be the ones who are afraid!

"Lu Shen, can you do it this year? Can you make it to the finals? Is it even possible...?"

Li Xin dared not think any further.

Last season, Lu Xiao was unfortunately eliminated in the semifinals, just one step away from the finals.

The boy's back view with his hands on his hips has touched the hearts of countless fans.

Will Lu Xiao continue his magic from last season and make it all the way to the end?

Will he become the first Chinese player to reach the Champions League final?

Filled with anticipation for the Champions League, Li Xin had completely ignored what Ma Fanshu was saying on the screen.

"Besides the Champions League draw, there is another piece of news that is very exciting for Chinese fans."

Chinese player Zhang Xizhe is about to sign with Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.

We might see two Chinese players competing on the same field in one of Europe's top leagues, the Bundesliga...
